There are a number of natural ways to lower blood pressure, by learning a few of these techniques you are on your way to helping yourself to better health.

Why is High Blood Pressure Known as the SILENT KILLER?

HBP is called the Silent Killer. 

The reason high blood pressure is called the silent killer is because people can have HBP for years without knowing or experiencing symptoms. Not knowing they have HBP when they finally experience symptoms, the damage can be life threatening.

What is Stage 1 – Stage 2

The normal blood pressure for most of us is 120/80.

When you hear the words pre-hypertension you have to think in two stages. When your blood pressure readings rise above the 120/80 range you are consider pre-hypertension stage 1. If your blood pressure rises above the 160/100, then you are considered stage 2.

These are warning stages and should be cared for so that you do not go into full blown high blood pressure status.

Now, the question that has to be answered is, WHAT TO DO NEXT?

The first thing you want to do is consult with your Doctor. Even though we are focusing on natural remedies you still want the advice of a medical professional. It will be your responsibility to gather all the information from various sources so you can determine what course of action is best for you.

Comments About Natural Remedies

There is one key thing to remember when using natural remedies – BE PATIENT.

Vitamins, supplements, herbs, they work at a much different pace compared to medicine. Medicine definitely has it’s place when it comes to emergencies and treatments, but we look to natural means for a more long term benefit.

The reality of the drug industry these days is well stated in their motto “The money is in the treatment, not the cure”.

What this tells us is if we are looking for a CURE, then we MUST look in other places and natural remedies is one of them.

There is plenty of evidence now a days about the damage done to our body when taking medicine long term. Yes, in some cases there is no choice and for those people the drug industry is a Godsend. But, there are many people who are not in that group and looking at the alternatives is a much better long term choice.

The first step in managing high blood pressure is knowing you have it. Once you know this you can start researching the natural remedies for high blood pressure.

Maybe a better plan is to analyze your health now, make the necessary changes before HBP becomes a problem. Not a bad idea…
